About Brea Gratia & David Robinson

My name is David Robinson. Born in Chicago and moved to the south when I was 10. Lived in Jackson, Mississippi in the early 60's then moved to Houston, Texas with family. I've lived in Arkansas, Louisiana - just love the south. When I met my wife, Brea in Houston, she was interested in living in Asheville. After visiting several times, I found that I loved the mountains, the weather and all the outdoor activities along with the variety of wildlife. Brea and I moved to Asheville in October, 2014 and enjoy the lifestyle in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Brea Gratia & David Robinson purchased this Bungalow in 2010

Why Brea Gratia & David Robinson chose Fairview

I bought my first property (VRBO #214785 - Woodland Chalet) in 2008 and had the opportunity to purchase the adjoining property - The Bungalow. Both are private and on a pristine mountain - there is nothing else like it in the area. Each property is located on 2 acres with a forest canopy that still amazes me to this day. It is serene, cool (even in the summer) and beautiful in the winter.

What makes this Bungalow unique

The Bungalow is perfect for a couple to share time with each other in a private, serene setting. Cozy gas fireplace, perfect size kitchen and large bathtub with shower.

Perfect Asheville Stay

The Bungalow was perfect for our stay. We originally planned to stay downtown, but Im glad we chose this instead. Visiting downtown was fun, and the bungalow was only about a 15 minute drive. The place was clean and was very quiet and relaxing. The hot tub was perfect way to unwind after hiking and walking all day. The gas fireplace will get the place warm... quick! The last mile drive was very steep, but the roads are paved and in good shape (last 1/4 mile was gravel but mostly level). We went slow and cautious the first time and had no issues. Owners take a lot of pride in their property and your stay and are attentive to your needs. We will definitely stay at their property again in the future.

Check out Catawba falls (20ish min drive) for a easy hike with beautiful views, or Graybeard Mountain trail for great views but a sometimes challenging all-day hike (10 miles/7 hours round-trip with stops to enjoy the views and eat lunch). Bring plenty of water and snacks.

Owner's Response:

David - that was just an amazing review. You know the last part of the drive (the flat part) was our gravel driveway. The roads are all paved on the mountain. You wrote everything in a nutshell and covered the best of the Bungalow. We are happy you found the Bungalow perfect for your needs and that you were able to find great hiking in the area. Catawba Falls is really a wonderful hike - we've not been to Graybeard Mountain - I'm thinking that would be a good one to look for. We hope you come again very soon. Brea & David

Very Romantic! Perfect Getaway!

This bungalow checked all the boxes for me: Great views, awesome hot tub, fireplace, Weber grill, 10-minutes from Ashville, 5-minutes from a grocery store, private, and super clean & comfortable. It was perfect, and the owners are great. It's a very romantic getaway. We can't wait to book it again next year. The leaves were just starting to change and the evenings were chilly, making the hot tub really enjoyable. Hiked Dupont park 45 minutes away (great drive though) which has breathtaking waterfalls. Had breakfast at Tupelo Honey in Ashville...YUM!

We had a wonderful time at the bungalow. It is nestled on the side of the mountain in the woods with a beautiful view on the back deck - perfect place for enjoying our coffee and breakfast each morning. The kitchen was clean, recently updated, and had all the cookware and utensils we needed. It’s an easy drive to downtown Asheville, about 10-15 minutes, and to the blue ridge parkway for great hikes. We are so happy we stayed in the bungalow to enjoy the crisp air and quiet on the mountain instead of being in a hotel downtown. The owners were very helpful and want to make sure we had a great stay. I would definitely recommend this place.

Brian - thanks so much for visiting the Bungalow for your trip to Asheville. Thanks also for mentioning how clean it is as we do take pride in making sure the Bungalow is spotless for our guests. Driving to town is very easy and yet we are located in the mountains with a fabulous view so you get to enjoy it all. We do hope you come again and thank you for the recommendation. Brea & David

For a flat lander from Louisiana the drive up from the main highway was interesting buy not to much of a challenge. The road up from the main highway was in excellent condition. The Bungalow was very well appointed and maintained. The area is very serene and just what we were looking for. The hot tub was very inviting and the plush robes were put to use as the day temperatures even for mid August hoovered in the low 70s'. The day after arrival our host call to check on our well being. She and my wife had a very pleasant conversation. Make a good shopping list for supplies for once you arrive you really don't want to leave. Biltmore is just a short drive as we visited the house and grounds for several hour, returned to the Bungalow and then back to Biltmore for Chihuly Nights that evening.

I recommend the Bungalow for any couple young or old who would like to get away from it all for a few days. Turn the TV on in the AM to get news and weather then turn in OFF and then enjoy the serenity, be romantic or just chill.

Biltmore was on our bucket list but we will definitely talk up the Bungalow to anyone traveling to Asheville, NC.

Thank you Curley & Dianna - we were so happy you came. I loved, loved speaking with Dianna. What a delight to have special guests like the two of you. We hope you do come again and definitely talk up the Bungalow. That's why we live here from Houston (similar weather as your neck of the woods in Louisiana), 60 degree mornings in August is unheard of in Houston and Louisiana. We love the mountains, the weather and the awesome views. Please come again. Brea & David

We had a blast staying at the bungalow! The views were great and the hot tub was awesome! This weekend getaway was exactly what we needed to reconnect as a couple! The bungalow was super clean and comfortable and Brea called to check on us the day after we arrived! It is close to Asheville, the Biltmore and hiking while still being secluded in the woods. We had no trouble at all finding the bungalow and the roads are well maintained. Brea provided excellent directions via email but our GPS worked also. We would love to stay here again!

We were delighted to have you come stay and love that you enjoyed the Bungalow. It is really a perfect place for couples and close to Asheville as you said. Being in the mountains, in the forest and up with a great view makes it all come together for a perfect vacation. Oh, and you're right - the hot tub....WOW. We love it too! Thanks Matthew - we look forward to hearing from you again.

We enjoyed our stay at the bungalow. We arrived during a time of major rain so we weren't able to engage in as many outdoor activities as we had hoped. The bungalow was comfortable and was perfect for two. We were disappointed that the deck didn't have more furniture. Part of that may have been due to the weather which left a lot of debris on the upper and lower decks. It's quite a trek out to the property and we arrived during a major downpour around 7 pm so the drive up was a little scary but it wasn't that intimidating in the day time. It took us 20 to 30 minutes to get downtown or to grocery stores and Uber cost about $80 roundtrip to downtown so if you are wanting to spend a lot of time in more urban areas then expect to do a lot of driving. Brea and David were very accommodating and Brea was great about being in touch before the trip and even moved our reservation for us. I would definitely recommend the bungalow to others as long as they are aware that local attractions/restaurants/shopping is going to involve some driving.

Owner's Response:

Lisa - thanks so much for writing a review and your experience. It is certainly interesting how weather can unexpectedly change ones perspective of a fabulous vacation retreat. We thank you for taking the time to tell us about yours. I am surprised uber charges so much. No one has ever mentioned the expense. It is a 20 minute drive to downtown and the grocery stores are 12 minutes (Food Lion) and 14 minutes (Ingles) from the Bungalow. Most of our guests choose our mountain location for serenity, privacy and mountain views. Driving into town is easy when you know that going back to such beauty, peace and relaxation is the benefit of staying slightly out of town. Driving is part of the beauty and the experience. We enjoy driving to town and the experience of going down Mine Hole Gap with the view of the mountains ahead. It just put a smile on our face each time even after all the years we've lived here. We are happy you loved being here and look forward to another opportunity to have you be our guest. Brea & David
